The weather in Hobart this morning was pretty much perfect, but the course had a few more undulations than expected. Nonetheless, Danni was up early and excited about her first ½ marathon in many, many months. Her ultimate goal was to run sub-1:37hr to get a qualifying time for the New York marathon, but quietly we aimed for a time of 1:30hr given her recent form. She stuck to plan perfectly, joined with a few others for varying distances, and ran really well. The end result is a HUGE PB and a guaranteed entry for the New York marathon in November.

Danni Bryan – 1:29:54hr (PB)

Special mention to Mark Felder who finished his Overland Track walk 1 day early so he could get to Hobart in time to watch and support Danni – a really generous thing to do, and greatly appreciated.
